Victorian Liberals Look To Delay Vote On Gay Conversion Ban
The Liberal Party in Victoria want the Dan Andrews government to delay the vote on the bill banning conversion practices that seek to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity.The split in the party’s stand came to the fore at a meeting of the MPs on Tuesday. After the meeting opposition leader Michael O’Brien said while the party supported the ban on “coercive conversion therapy”, it had concerns about the role of parents and faith communities.“The idea you can change someone’s sexuality by converting them is just nonsense,”O’Brien told reporters.
